Product Description

Measuring 230 x 215 mm, Tony is the face of a lion originally designed for the Lady Anne Needlework Festival in England.  Their request was for something that included ‘heraldry’, hence the hint of Tudor roses in his mane.  Suitable for experienced embroiderers, like all of Hazel’s projects, it is diverse and interesting.  Using DMC stranded, satin, Diamant and Special Dentelles threads, Preciosa crystals and glass pearls, and Miyuki beads, this project features a large variety of stitches as under:

  • Embroidery: 21 stitches/variations
